Christmas Gifts I made this year

I've been giving handmade gifts since I was a child, and it just wouldn't feel like Christmas if I wasn't sculpting sewing and knitting special creations for those I love. I had a blast making this sculpture, which I gave to my best friend.

And you can see that her son enjoyed all the plush toys I made for him ;-)

And since my mother in law collects Santa Clauses, I thought she might like this sculpture.

This cute kitty was for my cat loving cousin ;-)

And this kitty was sculpted for my friend Matt, another cat lover (I seem to know a lot of cat lovers- LOL).

I made this whimsical blue bunny in red overalls for my uncle, who spent the spring and summer trying to keep bunnies out of his garden. It gave both of us good laugh =D

And this one was for my dog loving uncle. It resembles his own dog and he really liked it.

I made this cool dragon ornament for my little brother, who enjoys fantasy and dragons as much as I do.

And last but certainly not least, I made this fun scene for my mom. I figured a dragon opening his presents on Christmas morning would give her a laugh ;-) The boxes are full of beads and findings that resemble gold, diamonds, and gems.

I had a great Christmas with my family and enjoyed watching their reactions to the fun presents I made. Giving truly is the best part of the holiday for me. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and will have a Happy and healthy New Year!

About Me

I have a studio on ArtFire at http://creativecritters.artfire.com where I sell my polymer clay sculptures, miniature houses, pen sets, jewelry, cloth dolls, knit toys, and World of Warcraft plush Taurens. I love creating, and when I'm not doing that there's a good chance I'm outdoors. I enjoying tending my flower and vegetables gardens, taking long walks, watching the animals, and just breathing the fresh air. I'm married and have 2 sweet kitties. When I'm reading, it's usually fantasy, which fills my head with ideas for my artwork. I also exercise on a regular basis (and come up with more creative ideas while I'm doing that). I'm a very active person and always like to be doing something.
